In the heart of the sprawling metropolis of Ciel City, secrets lie buried beneath the cracked concrete streets. For Angela Williams, a high school senior who returns to Ciel, it's not just to graduate from the prestigious St. Katherine's High School or to keep her head above water - it's to confront the past.
Driven by a thirst for justice and revenge, Angela throws herself into the labyrinth of the city to search for her older sister Nini's best friend. But as Angela delves deeper into Ciel's murky waters, she finds herself ensnared in a web of deceit and violence, where loyalties shift in an instant and danger lurks behind every street corner.
As Angela's search for answers continues, Ciel's criminal undercurrent threatens to drag her and her new friends, Jaya and Theo, into its inky depths. In a city where trust is a rare commodity and alliances are forged in blood, Angela must choose whether to embrace the city that threatens to consume her or to find the strength to rise above it.
